I know where you are coming from...I also know what you mean by having to slow down....I think it is the perfectionist in us, or maybe the want to get everything done so that I can rest my MIND...finally! All the best in the change in mindset and in slowing down..... I need to do so too. <strong>I do feel a lot of stress these days so I do need to slow down....</strong> hahaha….I also sometimes catch myself thinking that I am becoming just like my mum!

I always have to tell them to do something like 5 times before they REALLy have to do it. I become so naggy. Then I get it back from them, "Okay, OKAY." I guess it's like choosing between being a naggy mom or a whip-cracking mom, huh? Kids just don't know how hard moms have to work to give them a good day. *sigh* <strong>Sometimes they get both a naggy mom AND a whip-cracking mom tho...</strong> (Hah. wait till they have their own kids) hahah… kids will be kids.
